Hi All

I just tried 2.2.8 on a Quad Xeon with 1Gig Ram and got the following starnge
/proc behavior:
when i want to start xosview with network traffic on (rel 1.7.1) i got the
following:

www:~ # xosview -int +net&
www:~ # Can not open file : /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease
[2]+ Exit 1 xosview -int +net

the long list of /proc/sys/kernel shows the following
www:~ # ll /proc/sys/kernel/
ls: /proc/sys/kernel/
